Now that I think about it I don't think that constitutes "metagaming" so much as "breaking the 4th wall."

All choices have consequences, Sword-Bearer. The optimal course of action has been laid before you: why do you insist upon straying from the path I have shown you? --Authorized Proctor: Wizard

As stated previously, and with sufficient clarity, my instructions are as follows: Retrieve his Right Hand for execution. Ensure that the Bearer remains steadfast in his resistance to its temptations. Determine whether control of the Nexus has passed to one or more heirs following the fall of...

If you had previously been aware that your master had not received a message intended for him, why have you not already conveyed it? It is contingent upon the messenger to deliver such information, once it has passed into his hands, and not upon the originator of the message to ensure its proper...

Hello again! It seems to be Friday one week prior to your gather, so if you wish to be guaranteed of success, it would behoove you to decide which artifacts you'd like to Hindsight... As long as I have a description of the items I can make a focus... --Honoria

Hmm, I would hate to miss a chance to see the ritual cast due to the cost... I will speak with Solar Pendari and see what I can do. Of course, if you have one of the two scrolls already we can offer the other at a reduced cost. Honoria Jennings

IMO it could be considered kind of metagamey, but... not all metagaming is bad. The ARB mentions a few examples of "positive metagaming," e.g. passing up a plot hook because it sounds like a low-level encounter and you want to let the new guys take it even though your character really hates...

[Bard. Hobling BARD. That's what I get for using a tablet instead of waiting until I have a keyboard, apparently. :P] The individual "Jehan T Wyldweaver" is not recognized. Its statement is to be rejected. --Authorized Proctor: Wizard

It is not a question of the Enemy appearing, but of him escaping. He is presently held where he has always been, near the southern reaches of his former Empire. To minimize potential destruction, you will do the following: Retrieve his Right Hand for execution. Ensure that the Bearer remains...

To the Hobling hard, bearer of the Aegis, and bearer of the Blacksword: Fifteen days remain. --Authorized Proctor: Wizard

I'll be near Fairfax in two weeks if you are ready to learn. Sofia "Thistlebrook" Hastings

It seems your next adventuring gather is two weeks away, which means that if you've acquired items you wish to Hindsight then you should think about deciding that in ONE week. --Honoria

Done. If anyone else needs a response resent, please contact a plot member or ping the IBGA address waysideibgas@gmail.com. Thanks!

Mr. Fredrick, the chance I offered you when we met is still open, if you want to take it. But I promise, I will not ask a third time. If you're still curious, just say the word and I'll come meet you again. We have so much to show you... Sofia "Thistlebrook" Hastings

By the strictest legal interpretation, none of these is precisely illegal for a private citizen, assuming that such actions are perpetrated through stupidity rather than intent to cause harm. However, if these actions are committed with the intention of causing harm to Wayside or its people, or...

Gandian, Sure, you could use a second Air Shard to generate the rotation with a spinning fan-type thing, but if it were me I'd want to set that up so it's isolated from the Shard that's playing the flutes so you don't get interference. The function of the Stone Shard, in my view, is to generate...

(Obviously, in the second scenario the flutes could be arranged as a linear array instead of rotating, and the Stone Shard would raise them to meet the Air Shard positioned above the array with the wind current flowing perpendicularly to the array.) Clara Clawsome, Solar of the Aether Solars'...

The boys are correct, at least as far as it goes with an extremely rudimentary system, where you just have an Air elemental in a box with a flute. But if you're willing to give the problem a little more thought, it should be apparent that with a little ingenuity it's possible to create a system...

I am in possession of an indestructible box that was recently acquired. If the other five who were present don't wish to bid on it, I can arrange to get it to you. --Fiona

Holy crud mosquitoes! But despite that... --Freaking out Artemis with High Ogre banter and his 2h weapon... "He's a dude, that's why he needs both hands to use his stick..." --Linko being the smartest and the most stick, as well as the tallest (I had to restrain myself from making Invader Zim...
